Customer Ratings & Reviews

Absolutely thrilled with my recent Chromebook purchase from Best Buy! This is, without a doubt, the best Chromebook I've ever owned. The in-store experience was phenomenal, thanks to a dedicated Chromebook specialist who was on-site. They truly listened to my needs, helped me pinpoint the perfect device, and ensured I stayed comfortably within my budget. It felt like they genuinely cared about finding the right fit for me. And the Chromebook itself? Incredible! The upgraded Gemini features have been an absolute game-changer, making everything so much more helpful and efficient. From start to finish, this was a five-star experience with a five-star product!

Love this laptop. Runs casual games on steam (FTL, Into the Breach, etc.) very happy with how it performs. Delving into the specs it appears to run 4 sticks of 2gb ram (quad channel). Which is THE BEST setup, especially for a laptop reliant on its iGPU. And I suspect is why it performs so well.

Sturdy design. Plenty of power since many Chromebooks are underpowered to save money and they usually don't need much horsepower since it is just a browser running on Linux. I like the built in HDMI port which makes it easy to play video on the TV

I purchased this cause my old laptop finally stopped working. I was looking for something that was affordable That would meet my needs. I was amazed immediately. I cannot believe how fast it was and how wonderfully easy it was to use.

For the money, it is as good as you can get. Good screen. Good battery life. It isn't too heavy and feels good to use. I use it mainly for writing and social media. My only complaint is that the screen could be slightly brighter.

Love the screen size. It’s a good computer, fast for day to day tasks. Starts up quickly. Fast charging. Holds a charge all day. Took one star away for the dim/foggy display.

I've been knocking around with one of those "toy" Chromebooks (slow, 4GB, 32GB, tiny screen, lousy keyboard) because it was cheap. I'd use it for light computing when traveling without the need for "full on" business computing and dev work. I had played with the Linux "development environment" a bit but when you activate it in the settings menu it suggests 10GB of storage and dumps you in a text terminal, so I assumed it was development environment as in "can run console emacs and you can do some POSIX command line development and work in it." Then, the other day, someone told me that no, it's actually Debian and is fully integrated with the ChromeOS desktop environment... they just don't install any X and/or GUI apps by default. I didn't actually believe them. But I came home, fired up my the Linux "development environment" on my toy Chromebook and installed LibreOffice. And then Darktable. And they absolutely DO integrate seamlessly with ChromeOS, down to the GNOME menus being the ChromeOS menus. I was dumbfounded. And I immediately knew I had to get a ChromeOS device that was a legit *laptop*, not just a lightweight "toy" for light work during travel. This fit the bill. On sale, six cores, 8GB ram, 128GB storage, full HD display, sliim. Was concerned at first with 250 nits brightness until I realized the slow as molasses, clunky Chromebook I've been using already was only 230 nits brightness, so it couldn't be any worse. And in truth it's great. This is indeed a "real laptop." Much more solid, very, very quick with office computing and web browsing. Faster than my aging 17" Macbook Pro with an older Core i7 in it. Fired up the Linux "development environment," allocated the vast majority of the onboard storage to Linux, installed all my favorite applications after some fiddling to figure out which Debian packages do things like install gnome styles that will carry over to gtk and LibreOffice, etc. What do you know. A full-featured, six-core Linux laptop running all my favorite Linux desktop applications that's speedy and eregonomic and modern. For less than $300 new thanks to the sale. This is the best-kept secret in computing. I can only imagine that they don't advertise this capability and don't install *any* Debian GUI applications or packages because they don't want people to know. Which is a shame, because it gets you a full, fast desktop OS environment on a modern laptop with fantastic battery life and that generates basically no heat--for peanuts. And there's no futzing around with drivers and config to get your Linux environment set up with all the hardware! It just works! I feel like I got the deal of the century.

This is the best laptop I have ever used! The ease of use, quality of display, accessibility, and speed are all 10/10. I had a fancy 2-in-1 laptop and a tablet for years before purchasing this Chromebook at the suggestion of my husband and I hardly ever used them- instead opting to borrow his laptop if I absolutely needed to be on the laptop. Now I am on my laptop almost every day finding reasons to create or research or whatever- wish I had bought it sooner!

Love this dope laptop!! Very impressed with the speed and size.

Excellent chromebook. Quick boot up and responsiveness. Easy to use, excellent screen graphics. Great Value!

I bought this Chromebook to replace a two year old HP Laptop with windows 11. The Acer is lightening fast and priced reasonably. I'm going to run over my old Windows laptop with my car. I highly recommend the Acer.

Love ChromeOS for surfing the web and ease of use. This is replacing an old Acer Chromebook. So far it is great, fast easy to use and has a quality feel and look to it. Glad I bought this unit.

I am EXTREMELY pleased with my purchase!!!! Clarity & speed are excellent!!

I like the overall design. Easy to use. I would prefer a touch screen but this laptop is a value for the price

Nice. light easy to easy use Chromebook, has nice features plus have it linked to my mobile phone so can send/receive text messages on my Chromebook including automatically can view images captured on my android mobile phone. I have no complaints. better than expected. Lot of android/Google apps can use

Great laptop! Easy to use, very lightweight and affordable

Laptop works great, we mainly use it for my daughter’s homework. We haven’t had any issues with it. Very budget friendly.

I really love this laptop. It has a huge screen but it’s still light and easy to take with me wherever I go. It’s quick and responsive and does everything I need it to do. The price was amazing for the quality.

Super fast and light weight. Great quality labtop. Would recommend for anyone on a budget

Picked this up for my son in high school. We opt for larger screens due to his vision. We were looking at another unit that had half as much Ram but the same price tag! Very happy to have gone with the much snappier performance of a Chromebook plus!
